New GEOTRACES special issue “Biological and climatic impacts of ocean trace element chemistry”

The GEOTRACES special issue in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London A dedicated to trace element chemistry is now available! 

“This special issue arises from lectures and discussion during 4 days in December 2015. A 2 day meeting at the Royal Society in London was a showcase for recent advances in understanding of ocean trace element cycles. It was arranged in four sections: quantifying the oceanic cycles of trace elements; the biological impact of these cycles; the use of trace elements and isotopes as tracers; the human impact on trace element cycles. The first 14 papers in this volume are arranged following these sections, in the order in which they were presented.

A following 2 day workshop, held at Chicheley Hall, synthesized the state of knowledge about fluxes at the four ocean boundaries: with the atmosphere; the continents; marine sediments and the ocean crust. Breakout groups at this workshop discussed present knowledge, identified gaps in understanding and suggested research directions for the future. The outcome of discussions in these breakout groups is captured in the final four synthesis papers in this volume; one for each of the ocean boundaries.”

The volume includes four synthesis papers, which summarise our knowledge and identify areas for future work relating to chemical fluxes at the four ocean boundaries – with the atmosphere, the continents, sediments, and mid-ocean-ridges. These papers and some other papers are available open access.
